Cesar

Age: 23
Position: Warehouse Restock Associate
Employer: Power Stop
Employed Since: July 2020

Since his engagement in YJC’s Career Pathways Program, Cesar’s passion has been to obtain his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). He participated in a CDL certification program in the spring of 2019 and successfully obtained his CDL license in September 2019, while also securing a job to drive a delivery truck with UPS.

Unfortunately, Cesar had to redirect his goals after a car accident that temporarily paused his ability to drive trucks. While patiently waiting to address his legal circumstances, he worked with his Career Pathways Career Advisors to apply for alternative jobs. Cesar was employed at a restaurant and later worked at a warehouse in an effort to provide for his two young children. After COVID derailed his employment, he continued to seek alternative opportunities and secured full-time employment at Power Stop as a Warehouse Restock Associate in July 2020. Since then, his supervisors have praised his consistency and have promoted him to work in the inventory department and will later transition him to become a forklift operator.

Cesar’s strong work ethic and ability to adapt to a changing environment is a testament to his dedication and commitment to success.

Congrats Cesar!
